During nights with new moon, subjects' vision is equivalent to that of a baseline human.

This sounds sketchy to me. Do you mean during a night with a full moon both affected and non-affected people are the same? Or that a new moon for them is the same as the sun for normal folk? And 'baseline human' is kind of a weird measurement for something as wildly varied as vision.

Other than that it's… okay, I guess? It's a temple that essentially reverses the sun and the moon for people and plants, with some nods to the appropriate Roman gods. I don't know what the relationship between Diana and Apollo usually is depicted as, so I don't know if followers of one defacing the other is normal or not but it didn't really have much impact on me.

That kind of henotheism isn't probably how ancient Greco-Roman religion worked, no. But what is actually happening here is kind of clever, this is a late Emperial monotheistic mystery cult parallel and antagonistic to the Sol Invictus cult. I definitely like that aspect and the anomaly itself is interesting.

As I understand it, an SCP is an anomalous something that should be locked up or tied down in the interest of humanity continuing to exist. While this place is certainly anomalous, its appeal doesn't come from the morbid intrigue of an average SCP object. It has a Romantic draw of ancient mysticism and heroic fantasy that doesn't lend itself fluidly to technical writing.

If "An ancient temple of Diana that guides sailors from the Adriatic Sea to a lone island where the day is night and plants grow under the moon" were a clue in a game of Guess-that-Wiki, The Wanderers' Library would be a safer bet since they're more keen on this kind of thing.

Don't get me wrong; I dig it. I just think it'd flourish more in a different flowerbed.

And this one is all the same. It affects people in a manner that betrays the conventional understanding of the Moon and Sun.

True, since that is my style of writing. However, I would argue that it is juxtaposed with an attempt to comprehend it under scientific terms. It's like how the lightning was once interpreted as divine punishment, and research shows how lightning is formed and dismantled the mysticism of it.

Admittedly, I am from the crowd that believes that the site can handle all sorts of fiction (beyond mere horror alone).

P.S. Nice to hear that the concept can have room in other places as well.

It does strike me as a little… disjointed, though. I can see a lot of detail here, but I'm not getting a sense of purpose beyond the worship. Why does this thing exist, and why should the reader be interested in it? What story are they supposed to be piecing together here?
